Warhammer 40k Sentinel - the desert wars
Posted by pyrman64 on Monday, March 8, 2010 1:26 PM

I built this about a year ago, it's out of the box.  It's now on a small round base with ground work.  The "chocolate chip" camo was hand painted using MM/ACRYL "Mahogany flight deck," "Panzer interior buff" and flat black on a base coat of US Army/Marines desert tan.  The interior was painted "interior green' and numerous outher colors to bring out the details.

The flame gun has since been drilled out and a pilot flame added  The entire vehicle was given a wash of "grimy black" and them oversprayed with PollyScale's "Dust."

 

All comments welcome....

Thanks for the kind words, they're appreciated.

G, the scale is supposedly 28mm, which translates to roughly 1/68.

Nice work on the camo paint scheme.  I've built one of these myself.  It's a fun little kit.

Very nice Sentinel.  I love these guys, and have a ton more than I will ever field in a standard game.

Two comments, first, I would drill out the barrel of the heavy flamer.  Secondly, your hydraulics on the legs are too shiny and new.  Add some browns and greens to represent fluid leakage/buildup, and some grime.  Look at any vehicle with hydraulics, they are always dirt, mud, and dust magnets!

Nice build, keep it coming!

I'll echo that I love "these" things. I also love Ma.K. being somewhat similar to this piece?

Thanks for sharing what I don't see enough of and I like the job you did and scheme you chose!
